UDO'S CHOICE ULTIMATE OIL BLEND (£17.99 for 500ml from www.savant-health.com)

HEALTH BENEFITS This blend of organic seed oils is designed to deliver the ideal ratio of omega-3, 6 and 9 fatty acids.

FLAVOUR It tastes like strong sunflower oil with quite a powerful smell - and might take some getting used to.

COOKING OIL TIPS This is not suitable for cooking or frying. For health, you're advised to use one to three tablespoons daily, added to salad dressings, pasta dishes (once cooked) and roasted vegetables. It's great for stirring into fruit drinks and yogurt, and on cereal, too.

BEST FOR Getting the benefits of several oils in one.

Heat and light make oil age more quickly, so don't store it next to the cooker in a clear bottle. Keep your oils in a cool cupboard and pour some into a small dispenser for everyday use.
